The Chromebook 2 has a slower CPU than this one, but a much nicer screen. Some people have found it a bit too slow (see reddit.com/r/c…he/ ), but generally people seem to find it quick enough. The street price in the US is $330 which would be £217 or £260 if you added 20% VAT. I saw a comment before Christmas saying that it would sell for £249 here.theverge.com/vid…ted is a video on the pros and cons of various Chromebooks.

Chromebooks do not have Java, and even though Citrix released a native chrome app, it only works if your company has upgraded to StoreFront (many haven't).

If you want to test it, install the Citrix app from the Chrome web store.
